This is the problem with the design, but again, this does not excuse the crew for failing to control the aircraft. I agree the design was poorly executed, but the "stability" issue is no different than other aircraft which have unique handling characteristics with patches to make them less unique.
If this was a runaway trim due to faulty circuitry instead of faulty code nobody would be trying to give this excuse.
